Hey is anybody else in tech really stressed

Made a decision. Starting now, I’m going to write without AI.

suspect t could end up beng dffcult to red ntlly, but n tme thnk people wll djust to my new wrtng style, nd wll be seen s thought leder.

How do I get blocked by that "why" cunt? The only "why" I respect is why the lucky stiff.

If you boost, hype or market genAI or generic LLM shit in any way, I will remember and I won't forgive. Ever.

At the very least, I hope you got paid because doing that for free is just embarrassing.

#fuckAI

you're better off this way

this is left handed people erasure

As soon as you means test a program, that program sucks, because rich people don't get exposed to it and they're not complaining that it sucks.

Also, how do you define who gets "enough"? What is "enough"? And what is a "handout"?

Maybe the thing with AI is that blaming coders for underspecified needs wasn’t working, but we don’t want to actually have to explain ourselves to the coders, so we get a proxy we can’t usefully blame.

So like maybe what we needed were unions.

April 2026 Outage Post-Mortem - Jim's Pckt Hey all! I'm Jim, and I do system-y things at Bluesky. I'm here to give you some details about what happened on Monday of this week that caused Bluesky to go do...

I need to somehow get good at this game.

thinking about that old lesley lamport quote,

I will say that pre-built Bluesky accounts that have been washed from being content scrapers are not *as* expensive as washed accounts on more high-traffic sites, but they are not free, and I have seen with my own eyeballs at least $500 worth of accounts at *minimum* this week.

For the record everyone, this is why I block content scraping accounts basically on sight, even ones that I would normally enjoy (cute corgis! Cottagecore!)

It’s worth considering, on a non monetised site, why somebody is trying to build a large following with non personal posts.

Government launches multi-million-dollar fuel saving campaign The federal government is launching a multi-million-dollar advertising campaign encouraging Australians to reduce car use as the global oil crisis persists.

How about we shift some linehaul road freight from road to rail? Even today's diesel hauled trains use just one third of the fuel per tonne-km of road. Just 1-2% of freight between adjacent interstate capitals currently goes by rail, and there's plenty of capacity.

Screenshot of Big Bird in Hooper’s Store with live human Alan and a flying red bird. The subtitles read: "Time for the birth of terror. Me"

Do not watch Sesame Street on Tubi with the subtitles on 😭. I swear, I didn't edit or add anything. Is it hilarious? Yes, but also, they need to fix this immediately. Absolutely incomprehensible and bad

Okay CTA. This is a good sign.

I have a perfect idea for fixing and funding this app simultaneously: make each reply cost $1, to be refunded when it is liked by the OP.
